Baking soda does help with air quality.

Baking soda can help to purify the air and clean the air by absorbing pollutants and odors.

Baking soda works to purify and clean the air by chemically reacting with odor causing molecules and neutralizing them and also by making the air smell fresher.

Baking soda has alkaline properties which make the baking soda very effective in neutralizing acidic odors and can also absorb a variety of other different odor causing molecules.

You an also use baking soda to clean other surfaces and remove odors from them as well, which also helps to freshen the air in the process.

You can also combine some baking soda along with some essential oils or even dried herbs which can create homemade air fresheners, which can also help to absorb odors and release some pleasant scents to make the air smell better.

To use baking soda to purify the air and improve air quality and reduce odors you can place small bowls of the baking soda around the house or rooms, especially in areas where odors are common such as bathrooms, closets or kitchens.

Mixing some baking soda with essential oils or dried herbs and placing them in a jar with the lid off can also absorb odors and release a pleasant scent into the room.

Another way to use baking soda to clean the air and surfaces is to dissolve some baking soda in water and add some lemon juice and essential oils and spray it into the air and on surfaces to clean and reduce odors.

You can also sprinkle some baking soda on carpets and even upholstery and allow it to sit for awhile and then vacuum the carpet to remove the baking soda, odors and dirt.
